Wondershare(TM) Confirms its Most Popular Apps Are Windows(R) 8 Compatible; Readies Apps for Modern Interface, Windows RT, and New Mobile Devices

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels of Microsoft's Windows 8 roll-out last week, Wondershare Software is pleased to announce that its most popular utility apps are fully Windows 8 desktop-mode compliant and re-affirms Wondershare's commitment to making upgrading to the new OS as painless as possible for users. The immensely popular Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate video conversion/transfer app, Dr. Fone iDevice data recovery app, MobileGo Android migration/management app, and even the PDF editing/conversion apps are all certified Windows 8 desktop compliant and current users can continue to enjoy the apps without any difficulty when upgrading from Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 to Windows 8.

Wondershare Software is also putting the finishing touches on several Windows 8 Modern interface (previously called Metro) and Windows RT compliant apps that will soon be announced in greater detail and offered for sale in the Microsoft Store. Delivering compelling native Windows 8 Modern UI apps for desktop & notebook PCs & Windows RT apps for the Surface are much more involved than simply re-compiling an existing app for the new platforms. A complete re-think of user behaviors, wants, and needs is warranted for creating apps that users really want and that deliver the experience that these platforms are capable of. Developing these new apps can be best described as a "clean sheet" design effort by Wondershare.

Wondershare also confirmed that its award-winning Video Converter Ultimate video conversion & transfer app is compatible with the newly announced iPad Mini and now shipping Surface tablets in addition to the current crop of popular mobile devices including the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S III, Kindle Fire, and many other popular phones and tablets. VCU is the "go-to" app for converting any video file to playback on virtually any mobile device and can even transfer videos directly to iOS devices, bypassing iTunes completely. VCU also features extensive video editing features and can download videos from many popular sites.

"Wondershare has long been synonymous with ground-breaking new technologies," said Wondershare Founder and CEO Tobee Wu. "Thus far, Windows 8 users have been underwhelmed with the selection of Windows 8 native Modern UI apps as many of them are nothing more than re-hashed versions of existing apps. Wondershare is taking a different tact; we're creating a new generation of apps from the ground up that will exceed expectations and delight our customers."
